Names of Entities
In the case of several entities, especially the listed companies, it is possible to verify and correct the names using several secondary sources. However, for a large number of entities, since there is no secondary source available, we have no option but to use the name as given by the source organization. Given our experience with the listed company names where we located a large number of errors, we know that for the other entities, we are carrying the spelling errors on our website. This may therefore throw up inaccurate search results. If any user points out any of such errors, along with documentary evidence, we would be pleased to incorporate such changes.
In terms of names of entities, there is a huge amount of inconsistency within a source and across sources. The sources have different spellings for the same entity as also abbreviated names in various forms.
In terms of general words, we clean the names, through an elaborate software. All records after cleaning are then matched with the existing records in the database or with records available with us in the secondary sources.
Names of Persons
In the case of several persons, especially of the listed companies, it is possible to verify and correct the names using several secondary sources. However, for a large number of persons, since there is no secondary source available, we have no option but to use the name as given by the source organization.

Linking
Wherever an associated linking can be established by us, we have standardized the name of the person and treated him as one person. Wherever a link can not be established, the names continue to appear as separate individuals. For example, if we are able to verify that K.V.PAREKH and KUMAR V. PAREKH as the same person, we standardize the name as KUMAR V. PAREKH. In the remaining cases, however, we have no means of believing that he is the same person and therefore has been treated as different individuals. In future, if we are able to identify the link, we shall standardize the name.
Old Names/New Names
To bring uniformity and better search results, this website also shows the current names (wherever available) of such entities who have changed names since the passing of the order by a competent authority.
